Rodney G. Marrelli, who diligently served the people of
Utah as the Tax Commission Executive Director for the past
17 years, passed away Oct. 30, 2010. Mr. Marrelli managed
the day-to-day operations of the agency and its 750 employ-
ees.
He was recognized nationally for his pursuit of sound tax
policy, modernization of tax systems, improved communica-
tion and compliance.
“Rod dedicated his professional life to serving the people
of the State of Utah,” said R. Bruce Johnson, chair of the
Utah State Tax Commission. “We all admired Rod’s deter-
mination to fulfill his responsibilities while facing extremely
difficult personal challenges.”
Mr. Marrelli assumed leadership of the Tax Commission
in January 1994 after spending the first half of his career in
the private sector.
We will miss his leadership, commitment and unique
sense of humor.

Marc B. Johnson, Michael J. Cragun, D’Arcy Dixon Pignanelli and
R. Bruce Johnson are the four Utah State Tax Commissioners.
ify tax law administration. In
2010,the Tax Commissioners filed
50 administrative rule actions.
By statute, the Tax Commis-
sioners also manage several other
functions. The Economic and
Statistical Unit provides tax relat-
ed data and analysis and produces
economic reports. The Internal
Audit Unit provides consistent
review of agency functions. The
Public Information Officer coordi
nates communication with media
and other external organizations.
In addition to their primary
responsibilities, the Tax Com-
missioners function in official
capacities such as serving on the
Governor’s Cabinet and chair-
ing the Farmland Assessment
Advisory Committee. Other
commitments include coordina-
tion with local governments and
organizations as well as partici-
pating in national organizations.
The Governor, with the consent of
the State Senate, appoints four state
tax commissioners. The Constitu-
tion of Utah directs the Tax Com-
missioners to administer and super-
vise the state’s tax laws. To separate
tax appeals and agency oversight
from agency functions, the Tax
Commissioners, in consultation
with the Governor and with the
consent of the State Senate, appoint
an executive director to oversee
the agency’s day-to-day operations.
In November 2010, the Tax
Commissioners appointed Barry
C. Conover, the agency’s current
deputy director, to serve as Inter-
im Executive Director while they
search for a permanent appointee.
The Tax Commissioners primar-
ily hear appeals on 37 different tax
types. With the assistance of admin-
istrative law judges and the appeals
support staff, the Tax Commission-
ers hold hearings and issue orders or
final rulings on the various appeals
before them. In Fiscal Year 2009-
10, the Tax Commissioners received
4,080 appeals; a 9.7 percent increase
over FY 2008-09 and more than dou-
ble those received in FY 2006-07.
To provide general guidance for
taxpayers, the Tax Commission-
ers redact confidential information
from orders involving statutory in-
terpretation, substantive case law
and new or complex issues and
then post them on the Tax Com-
mission website. Taxpayers may
also subscribe online to receive
notices of newly posted decisions.
In addition to hearing tax appeals,
the Tax Commissioners promulgate
administrative rules which help clar-

Key Performance Measures
The Utah State Tax Commission strives to maximize our resources and streamline our
processes as we face the impacts of declining state and national economic conditions. Im-
proved customer service is achieved through employee development and technological ad-
vancements. Tax Commission services to Utah’s residents, businesses and government agen-
cies continue to be more accurate, quick and convenient than in previous years. The costs of
these services remain low while Tax Commission employees continue to be more efficient
in carrying out their responsibilities.
Our employees focus on three main areas to improve service:
1) Quality systems and business processes
2) Timely service, and
3) Electronic filing and payment options
#1 Timely Service
A. Revenue Deposits
Importance: The timely collection and deposit of revenues in state accounts is critical for state in-
vestment purposes and to provide funds for government services.
Action: State guidelines require all deposits of funds within 72 hours of receipt. Our goal is to de-
posit funds within 24 hours of receipt and within 72 hours during peak return periods. This goal is met 98
percent of the time.
B. Income Tax Refunds
Importance: The public expects and relies on timely income tax refunds. Technological advance-
ments, including electronic filing options, have reduced the time taxpayers wait to receive state income
tax refunds. The Tax Commission continues to encourage taxpayers to file electronically to ensure a rapid
refund.
Action: Timeliness of refunds generally depends on how early the taxpayer files their return. In-
come tax refunds are targeted to be processed within 15 days of receipt which occurs at least 90 percent of
the time. Exceptions occur when there is an unusual error item. Those returns are then marked for review.
C. Citizen Telelphone Assistance
Importance: Since citizens are required to file tax returns and register their vehicles, we need to
provide timely and quality responses to all telephone inquiries. We assist people in completing their trans-
actions and provide assistance at office counters.
Action: The Taxpayer Services and Motor Vehicles divisions have made improvements in assisting
the number of citizens who contact the Tax Commission by telephone. The percentage of calls handled has
been maintained in recent years in spite of increasing demand.
The Taxpayers Services Division is at the center of addressing and solving specific taxpayer ques-
tions. Employees provide customer service and maintain front-line contact with the public on tax issues.
This division also collects delinquent taxes and encourages future compliance with tax laws.

D. DMV Wait Times
Importance: Citizens visiting the Division of Motor Vehicles office expect efficient service in the
least amount of time. This chart shows the average wait times for large state operated motor vehicle offices.
These include all Wasatch Front offices. Wait times vary significantly from office to office depending on
the day of the week, day of the month and time of day. Due to these considerations, the Division of Motor
Vehicle’s focus continues to be on wait time trends rather than specific daily wait times.
Action: The Division of Motor Vehicle’s goal is to keep average wait times shorter than 20 minutes.
To reach this goal, the division utilizes seasonal employees to meet customer service demands during peak
periods. Monthly wait times recorded by electronic management systems are used to calculate the average
on a quarterly basis.
This chart shows steady improvements and maintenance during recent years in the per-
centage of customers who telephoned DMV and talked directly with an employee.

This chart shows the popularity of electronic filing options as the number of income tax returns
filed continues to grow.
#2 Electronic Filing and Payment Options
A. Income Tax Returns
Importance: The Tax Commission continues to use technological advancements and alternative
methods of filing income tax returns to keep pace with a growing population and economy. Over one mil-
lion income tax returns are filed annually and we continue to encourage electronic filing. Utahns have
three electronic filing options available:
1) commercial software packages
2) joint electronic filing (JELF) with the IRS and
3) TaxExpress, the state’s online option
Electronic filing is more accurate, faster, more secure and saves taxpayers dollars.
Action: As we continue to promote the use of electronic filing options, we expect the popularity of
these options to continue into the future, and will help offset the natural growth in taxpayers required to
file returns.

B. Motor Vehicle Transactions
Importance: All motor vehicles, off-highway vehicles and water craft operating in Utah must be
licensed and registered by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Some transactions, such as when the is-
sue of a new title is required on a new vehicle, must be completed in a DMV office since documentation is
required.
However, many transactions including most renewals can be completed electronically or by con-
tracted third parties. Third parties include authorized commercial dealers, inspection stations and other
contracted parties that can complete DMV transactions.
Action: We encourage citizens to complete renewal transactions through the Internet, mail and
authorized inspection stations. As the number of citizens that complete transactions through these options
has increased, it has allowed the division to meet the demands of the growing population for a number of
years. As use of electronic options levels out and the population continues to increase, the number of offices
serving the public will eventually need to be increased.
#3 Quality Systems and Business Processes
Importance: Tax and motor vehicle administration processes rely heavily on automated computer
systems to accurately record and retain citizen information on millions of transactions annually. These sys-
tems are used extensively to ensure that citizens pay their fair share of financing the cost of state and local
governments. Tax systems provide information for audits and identifying delinquent account balances. Tax
evaders are more easily identified using new technologies.
Action: The Tax Commission is in the sixth year of a multi-year project to upgrade the tax computer
system. The project has integrated systems that enhance tax compliance, improve customer service and pro-
vide flexibility for changes in the state’s tax system. New systems will facilitate additional electronic filing
options. This tax modernization project is a joint effort of the Tax Commission and the State Department
of Technology Services to replace aged computer tax systems. The results will serve as a foundation for the
future and provide continued improved customer and tax administration service at the Tax Commission.
Personal income, corporate income, sales and use, fuels, withholding and other major tax systems have
been modernized. The remaining taxes will be developed in incremental stages over the next two years.
The chart below shows the systems replaced and the timeline of their completion.

Annual Net Tax Revenues
(In billions of dollars)
The recession’s impact continued to be felt
in Utah resulting in revenue declines across a broad
array of categories. Tax revenues in Utah totaled
$6.096 billion in FY 2010, a 6.5 percent decrease
compared to FY 2009’s $6.518 billion.
General and Education Fund
Major Education and General Fund (unre-
stricted) revenues fell 8.6 percent in FY 2010. These
include sales, individual and corporate income, beer,
cigarette and tobacco, insurance premium, and sev-
erance (mining and oil and gas) taxes which totaled
$4,006.06 million in FY 2010 and represented 95
percent of the General and Education Fund.
Income and Corporate Taxes
Total individual income taxes fell 9.4 per-
cent from $2,332.56 million in FY 2009 to $2,114.41
million in FY 2010. This was largely a result of a
54.5 percent drop in final payments. FY 2010 final
payments were $194.81 million lower than in FY
2009. Withholding on wages was down 1 percent.
Mineral production withholding fell 24.4 percent
or $7.92 million. FY 2010 corporate franchise and
income taxes were off 0.6 percent to $273.18 million
compared to $274.89 million in FY 2009.
Sales Tax
State sales and use tax “free revenue” (net of
restricted funds) declined 9.4 percent, in FY 2010, to
$1,402.68 million. Including the $310.46 million in
restricted funds declined by FY 2010 state sales taxes
by 6.1 percent. Major sectors declined as consum-
ers and businesses pulled back in response to the
current economic and credit environment. Fiscal
year 2010 gross taxable sales fell 3.9 percent. Busi-
ness equipment expenditures fell 8.1 percent with
construction and manufacturing dropping 11.4 and
14.8 percent, respectively. Mining purchases were
down 15.5 percent but this came on the heels of
a 25.1 percent increase in FY 2009.
Wholesale-durable and nondurable goods also fell
11.6 and 13.2 percent, respectively. Communica-
tions dropped 3.2 percent while electric and gas rose
4.7 percent. Retail sales declined 2.7 percent. With
the exception of general merchandise and apparel,
which grew 3.3 and 2.3 percent, all other retail cat-
egories experienced declines including food stores
(-4.3), motor vehicles (-4.2 percent) and eating and
drinking (-1.0 percent). Impacted by a weak hous-
ing market, building and garden as well as furniture
stores sales fell 3 and 15.5 percent, respectively. The
services sector posted a 3.9 percent drop with most
categories declining. Business services fell by 4.6
percent, amusement and recreation by 2.7 percent
and auto and miscellaneous repair by 4.9 percent.
The only exception, the hotel and lodging services
category, grew 3.3 percent.
Transportation Fund
Fiscal year 2010 major Transportation Fund
revenues, which totaled $371.55 million, remained
nearly unchanged from last year and were down 0.1
percent. Although special fuel and motor vehicle
registrations declined 6.5 and 4.2 percent, respec-
tively, motor fuel taxes grew 3.3 percent.

Income Tax
Individual income taxes, corporate income taxes and franchise
taxes in Utah are based on income. As specified in the Utah Constitution,
all these revenues are used strictly for public and higher education.
The Legislature made significant changes to the individual income
tax during the past four years.
For the 2009 tax year, with returns generally filed by April 2010,
the traditional income tax rate using multiple rates was no longer imposed
for the second year. The tax rate under the “single rate” is 5 percent and
most taxpayers are able to claim one or more new non-refundable credits,
including a taxpayer tax credit and a retirement tax credit.
The taxpayer credit calculation incorporates a taxpayer’s federal
personal exemptions and standard deduction or itemized deductions. The
retirement tax credit applies to those age 65 or older or those under age 65
with certain retirement income. Above certain income levels, these cred-
its phase out as income increases. Existing tax credits available under the
individual income tax - such as low income housing, historic preservation
and at-home parent, etc. - continue under the new single rate individual
income tax.
Corporate Income Taxes
The corporate franchise and income tax rate is 5 percent of
Utah apportioned net income, with a $100 minimum tax per corpora-
tion included in a combined report.
The gross receipts tax is an in-lieu tax imposed on gross receipts of
corporations other than religious or charitable institutions operating
in the state that are not otherwise required to pay income or franchise
taxes. The Legislature also imposes the gross receipts tax on electrical
corporations whose property tax liability was decreased as a result of
property tax reductions authorized by the 1995 Legislature.
A percentage of gross receipts at commercial radioactive waste
facilities is imposed on the specific types of waste. These percentages
range from 5 to 12 percent, depending on the specific type of waste
received.
Individual Income Tax Withholding
An employer must withhold state income tax from employee earn-
ings if the employer
1) Does business in Utah or obtains any income from Utah

In fiscal year 2009, $273,178,732 in corporate
franchise tax, gross receipts tax, and radioactive
waste revenues were received by the State. These
sources of revenue were down 0.62 percent com-
pared to fiscal year 2007. All corporate taxes are
directed to the Education Fund which is used to
finance public schools and higher education.
The charts below show the number of cor-
porations classified by their economic presence in
the state and their share of taxes paid. The statistics
are for 2008 tax year returns for businesses who
filed as C-corporations. The top chart shows the
number of businesses and the percent of business
they do in Utah defined as the average share of the
sales made, property owned, and wages paid with-
in the state. The bottom chart shows the share of
taxes paid for each business share category.
A fairly large share of the number of cor-
porations conduct a relatively small percentage of
their business in Utah. For tax year 2008, 36 per-
cent of filers reported less than five percent of their
business activity taking place in Utah, but paid
54 percent of total corporate taxes. Corporations
operating solely in Utah accounted for 57 percent
of total businesses and paid only 10 percent of total
corporate taxes. A significant share of Utah corpo-
rate taxes are paid by large multistate corporations.

The table above includes all classifications of corporate taxpayers with number of returns
and total tax for calendar year 2009. Mining, retail trade, manufacturing and wholesale
trade are the four largest paying industries and each paid over $30 million in corporate
income tax. The mining industry pays 20 percent of the total share of corporate taxes.
Sales Tax
Sales taxes were first introduced in Utah as a revenue source in 1933 when property
tax collections dropped dramatically because of the Great Depression. The use tax was added
in 1937 to complement the existing sales tax. Use tax is imposed on taxable transactions in-
volving tangible personal property purchased outside Utah that the purchaser stores, uses or
consumes within the state.
The Utah State Tax Commission administers all state and local sales
and use taxes. The state sales and use tax of 4.7 percent applies to sales of
tangible personal property made within the state and retail sales of meals,
admissions to places of amusement, intrastate communication and pas-
senger service, gas and heat utility service, commercial electric, hotel and
motel accomodations and certain other services.
Retailer licenses are issued without a fee and retailers are required
to collect the tax from customers. The Tax Commission collects the tax
from retailers. Charges for residential use of electricity and fuel are taxed
at a rate of 2 percent.
Use tax is imposed on taxable transactions where the purchaser
remits the tax directly to the Tax Commission. The two taxes are compen-
sating taxes, one supplementing the other, but cannot be applicable to the
same transaction. The rate of the tax is the same.

sales tax to fund a fixed guideway and expand the mass transit transportation system.

mission acts as the agent for the counties, but 1990
legislation allows counties to collect the tax themselves.
Davis, Duchesne, Emery, Garfield, Grand, Utah and
Rich counties collect their own transient room tax. Ef-
fective Oct. 1, 2006, the tax changed from a rate not to
exceed 3 percent to a rate not to exceed 4.25 percent.

Municipal Highways Tax
A municipality in which the public transit tax is not
levied may impose a sales and use tax of 0.30 percent of the
purchase price on transactions subject to the state sales tax.
Voter approval may be required under certain circumstances.
Revenues from this tax must be used for the construction and
maintenance of highways under the jurisdiction of the mu-
nicipality. Retailers are responsible to collect the tax under
the same conditions as the sales and use tax. The Tax Commis-
sion collects and distributes this tax for participating localities.
Since this option tax was first approved in 1998, 25 cities and
towns have imposed it.

Utah law exempts certain purchases from the sales and use tax. The following are exemptions by legal
category and estimated sales tax exemption amounts for fiscal year 2010. See Utah Code Ann. §59-12-194.
Property taxes are levied at the local level
based on valuations set by county assessors and,
in the case of certain properties, by the State Tax
Commission. Counties collect the taxes and dis-
tribute them to the individual taxing entities. The
Tax Commission values centrally assessed prop-
erty, which includes mines, railroads and utilities
that cross county lines. All monies collected from
property tax are distributed to school districts, local
government entities and special districts.
Real and Personal Property Taxes
Property tax rates are set by local entities,
such as counties, cities, towns, school districts and
special taxing districts. A statewide rate is also levied
to help finance schools in Utah. Those rates are ap-
plied against the taxable value of real and personal
property, with the exception of motor vehicles.
Motor Vehicle Fees
Utah motor vehicles - including most boats, rec-
reation vehicles and trailers - are subject to a fee-in-
lieu of the personal property tax. Passenger vehicles
are assessed using a fee schedule based on the age of
the vehicle. Boats, trailers, and recreational vehicles
are subject to fees based on age, length and other
factors.

Property Tax Values and Rates
With the exception of some state assessed
properties, county assessors value all taxable real
property, personal property and motor vehicles.
These classifications are referred to as locally as-
sessed property. The Property Tax Division of the
State Tax Commission values centrally assessed
property which includes utilities, mines and rail-
roads.
All taxable property in Utah is valued at 100
percent of its fair market value, based upon its status
as of January 1 of each year. Fair market value, less
any exemptions, equals taxable value. Taxable value
is the value against which the tax rate is applied to
compute taxes charged. Agricultural land is taxed at
the value for agricultural purposes.
By state law, primary residential properties
receive a 45 percent exemption. Primary residential
property is any dwelling used as a person’s primary
residence. These include homes, condominiums,
apartments, rental properties and up to one acre of
land. The taxable value of all other properties, ex-
cept agricultural land, is 100 percent of fair market
value.
Utah motor vehicles are charged a fee-in-
lieu of property taxes. The fees for most vehicles are
based on the age of that vehicle.
Tax rates are expressed as a percentage of
taxable value. Tax rates are set by local govern-
ment and special districts under a statutory process
known as “Truth in Taxation.” This process requires
public notice and a hearing in the event a taxing
entity plans to increase its budgeted revenues above
the budget from the previous year, exclusive of tax
revenue from new growth.
The table below summarizes taxes charged
and average tax rates by class of property. Detailed

Centrally Assessed Property
The Property Tax Division of the State Tax
Commission is responsible for the valuation of
mines, utilities, airlines, telecommunications and
motor and rail carriers. The market value of multi-
state utilities is determined by unit value. This
approach values all intrastate or interstate proper-
ties as a unit. The value is allocated to the State of
Utah and then to the counties where the property is
located.
Properties of mining, gas and oil companies
are physically valued to arrive at fair market value
or by capitalizing net revenue. Patented mining
claims are valued at fair market value of the surface
property. Listed below are the 24 largest centrally
assessed companies for 2009 based on property taxes
charged by the State of Utah. The ranking of the
following centrally assessed property owners is as of
May 1, 2009 and may change following an appeal.
